The only good about this show....

are its quotes, citited from more intelligent people than the show producers.

But considering what one can sell the audience these days, they didn't fail after all.

The show is so flawed and dumb throughout, that one has to wonder if this is due to the ill education of the common people in the US, or more generic first world countries, or just the effect the recent crime shows had on its audience.

This is not me believing to be any better, it is rather a critisim on a certain demographic group or humanity itself - just can't figure it out yet.

If you don't like the show don't watch it....but there is no need to imply that the show is dumb and reflects on the poeple who watch it. The idea of this board is to discuss the show in general, the episodes and the characters. We may not agree on everything but we all enjoy the show. I personally find it very entertaining. There is no need to imply that the people who watch it don't have the intellect to appreciate a good show.

Slicker's probably a person who is upset that their favorite show got cancelled by some network while this is one of CBS' fine new dramas that got renewed for another season. Thus the diatribe about the US population being dumb.

While I wasn't too hot on CM at the beginning, I've begun really getting into the show, playing back and watching all the previous episodes I've recorded on my DVD-R recorder, since the month of April seems to be rife with lots of repeats of all TV dramas.

EDIT: From perusing Slicker's other posts and profile, it seems he/she only likes one show and complains that Europeans can only get it over the 'Net. That speaks volumes.

lol... the only good thing.. right ^^It's not like it's one of the best things on television.. incredibly well written.. with a talanted cast.. and an enthralling insight into the criminal mind.. I totally agree with you 100% ¬¬
